To me, Wake really, REALLY failed to capitalize at a time when they were primed to move up to that number 3 spot behind UNC and Duke. Around the Chris Paul time, Wake was becoming pretty cool. The kids were definitely starting to jump on the bandwagon. Even little things like the amount of Wake gear worn around AAU events and just whenever you'd go ball at the gym. They had NBA players, big recruits on the horizon, cool colors, everything. Then a big lapse after Paul left. Then the coach dies when those big recruits did come in, and the guy who coaches after Skip is nothing better than average. Then of course Bzz. Now Wake is back to being a complete afterthought and isn't a cool team to follow at all.
